Description
Sunday developed a technique she dubbed "field mirror photography," which used a large format camera and a mirrored contraption of her own design that would warp the subject's reflection, which she would shoot. Here, she's warped the reflection of the dampened leaves of a houseplant, making it appear to stretch upward, reaching for the light.
